His muscular figure, recognizable at first glance, stands out in a workforce traditionally little focused on the physical, Adama Diarra Traoré alias “El flecha”, former resident of the famous football academy of the Masia of FC Barcelona, will be without no doubt one of the attractions at the next European Nations Championship (June 11 to July 11, 2021).
A real physical monster and a machine for plowing a lawn, Adama Diarra Traoré, the tireless versatile winger of Wolverhampton, who was insisted on the side of the Eagles of Mali, finally honored his first selection with Spain against Portugal (0 -0), on October 7, 2020, during a friendly match. A selection which was also long overdue.
Injured during his first summons in September 2019, Adama Diarra Traoré, 25, was again forced to bypass, a year later, due to a positive test for Covid-19. This truce during the autumn is the opportunity to write a new chapter in his tumultuous history with his country of birth and with his coach, Luis Enrique. But, also the country of its origins, Mali.
“The convocation of Mali is due to my African origins and I appreciate that they remembered me. But I feel Spanish because I was born in Hospitalet (in Catalonia) and I have always played with the lower categories of Spain. I cannot deny my African origin, but I feel Spanish. I am proud to have made my debut and to have done my part with the selection A ”, he declared, during an interview with the newspaper the.AS.
Retained in the list of 24 players of Luis Enrique, who will defend the colors of the Spanish national team, Adama Diarra Traoré, author of 3 goals and 3 assists in 41 games in all competitions, this season, with the Wolves, will discover the rigor and the atmosphere of the most prestigious European competitions of nations.
To replay the leading roles as in 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, Spain can count on a great generation. We can mention Adama Diarra Traoré. Able to play in both lanes, the 25-year-old expects to have a role to play for Euro 2021. Of Malian origin, he can certainly help Spain go far in this competition.
